Tad,
For good or for bad this group owes a "thank you" to Neal Warren. I remember when he came aboard and forced the change. He gave us hell for not having a since of humor. He made us understand the joy of an unmoderated group. He and he alone taught us (ME) to not take myself to serious. THANK YOU NEAL, you have made this group FUN. Now don't let this go to your pin head. You started but a damn good supporting cast helped you. Still does! AND: "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!" Ole Thom |

Yeah, I guess you help. You had "Yoda" at the time and your major goal
was to cause grief to that MAC owner, what was his name? Not Scott. Scotty has thicker skin. There were a lot of old timers that were driven off, even me for awhile, but I crawled back like a worm. Ole Thom |

was to cause grief to that MAC owner, what was his name? Ed Gordon. But Scotty is as good a target. He bites on any bait! He's dumber than Ganzy, though he does display a certain wit, recently smothered by his truly angry posts. I prefer the lighthearted folk like Donal, Jeff, Mooron, Ozzy. They can take it and dish it out as well as anyone. Poor Scotty seems ready to pop at times. Very sad. RB |

Doug, Jeff, neal and even Steve along with a few others have the same quality and it helps make the group worthwhile. The total dead weight he Scotty, Ganzy, Skitchy, Binary Bill. These guys rarely start a worthwhile thread and are just leeches sucking off everyone else. RB |

Ed Gordon, that's right. Kind of miss him but I've never been sure he
didn't come back as Gilly? They both hail from the same state and all? OT |

I think Neal can back from his
first extended cruise refreshed, happy (?), revitalised, but not, repeat not enraged anymore ... So what you're saying is that he is quite happy to be just an old fart and has resigned himself to living the rest of his life attached to an Atomic 4 engine block in a sea of stagnant water. Somehow not the Cappy portrayed so accurately in the Internet Opera. What a shame that he has let life intrude on his life that way. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

go to mp3.com and do a search on "Seahag's song". Sorry no

Katy, Consider the fact that Cappy may be suffering the effects of chemical castration after being found with one of his underaged nymphettes. The prison sentence and later release on condition that he undergo the drug treatment may explain his previous long absence (sailing to Cuba..yeah sure!) and return a meeker individual. Don't worry, Oz. The collarbone _will_ mend one day, despite your advanced years. PhhfffT |

Consider the fact that Cappy may be suffering the effects of chemical castration THis is the USA, not Germany....the punishment here is to throw them in jail and let them bother each other there....when they get out they put them on a list so you know where they are and then when you find out they're next door you put your house up for sale...but by then everyone knows and the property value has been destroyed because of the list so you're stuck living next door to a sexual offender. It is lawful, though, for you to own a gun, so you buy one so you can mechanically castrate the offender if he ever comes near you or your own. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

you might be surprised at how many people want to read and talk sailing.
MANY come, lurk, and get the hell out before the stench permeates our clothes. I come maybe every couple months to see if hell has frozen over. Nope, same bunch of bar-clods hanging over their grog mugs and hanging on to the stools because the only motion they ever experience is the woozy effects of too much booze and booze-fuelled ego. Real sailors do not tie up to the city's sewer outlet. |

He knows so little about sailing and all related skills that he is a hazard even when moored, and couldn't successfully complete an afternoon daysail much less a lengthy cruise. DSK |

BTW of the sailing discussion forums on the internet, this is one of the few that will likely provide a useful answer to a serious question. There are always a few ongoing sailing discussions here.
